ABSTRACT
Each step of the journey throws up more and more questions about the claims of Wilayat Mahal and her children, especially as the children are revealed to have had multiple names as they were growing up. Were they actually royalty, was there any connections to Awadh, and who actually the connection to Awadh was, and who actually was the matriarch. –Reproduced
